Does anyone know who Dr Bellonzi is? Don't like that he mixes chronic fatigue with chronic fatigue syndrome. He seems to be a nutrition guy. I wonder why he's on their front page. Starts off talking about possible virla, bacterial, mycoplasma causes and problems with mitochondria. Getting too tired, but think his last 2 sentences said that individuals can find the cause and cure their chronic fatigue syndrome. So hope I got that wrong.
